Stage Crew One can always tell when he is nearing the Home Economics rooms by the delicious aroma that always pervades the hall in that area. The girls learn the arts of homemaking under the direction of Mrs. Smith and Miss Mellinger. Expert treatment is always available in the infirmary for any type of illness whether from over-indulgence at lunch, a headache, or some more serious ailment. The medical department is directed by Mrs. Verger, R.N., who is assisted by the girls in the Nursing Club. For boys interested in construction, a course in mechanical drawing is available. Taught by Mr. Brown, it gives them a background in the science of drafting. The shops, under the supervision of Mr. Samitz and Mr. Heegard, give the boys the opportunity to learn mechanical skills. These departments give the students a knowledge of useful arts, which are needed for a well rounded practical education. MAE K.

CHUSE Temple, Temple Art Club Haverford’s fine arts program, which includes library-science, art, and music, guides the students in developing their talents and interests. Term papers, book reports, projects —whatever the topic or problem, Miss De Cou, our school librarian, is always there with a helpful suggestion on locating the right book for you. We are also fortunate to have a music program which provides much of the background for all school theatrical productions. Our instrumental and choral groups have given musical programs both for our school and many other schools and organizations in the vicinity. All our budding opera singers have an opportunity to exercise their vocal abilities in the A Cappella Choir. These three aspects of the music department are under the able direction of Mr. Tecco, Mr. Trainer, and Mr. Fink, respectively. Many of the showcases which have been enjoyed by all are done by our art students, advised by their instructors, Mr. Chuse and Mr. Reed. Art is offered both as a major and minor for any interested students. I«

Although the athletic fields could not be used, the Physical Education Department has provided a well-rounded program of activities this year. Get the ball over the net! Shrieks of this kind were frequently heard in girls' gym classes, where, in the fall, they played volley ball. Line soccer, which is a combination of football and soccer, provided rough excitement for the girls and rounded out the fall season. Can you touch your toes? If you can't, you had better stay away from the girls’ gym classes, because exercises play an important part in the development of a physically-fit body. The boys used the macadam area, adjacent to the school to play football and soccer. In spite of skinned knees and hands, they survived the season and also provided entertain- ment for classroom lookers-out-of-the-window.' Winter marked the beginning of basketball, a sport which was thoroughly enjoyed in both boys and girls’ classes. The he-men” also wrestled and did gymnastics, making use of the horses, rings, and parallel bars. Tumbling brought the girls many an aching back and stiff leg, but they woefully kept at it until everybody could do a backward somersault! Jumping rope added variety and brought back those good ole childhood days but then who thought of it as an important exercise. When long-awaited spring arrived, it brought to the scene its regular seasonal sports—badminton and softball for the girls, baseball and soccer for the boys. ALLISON G.
